Be it known that I, c; (nowar Allegheny city,.All-egheny. county, Pennsylon the line II It of Fig. .1. Fig.3 is atrent "yarns; have nvente'djanew-a'nd useful Advertising Device of amen the following is a full, c1ear-,- and exact description, reference being had to the accom nying drawings,

[forming part of this Ispeci 'cation, in whiche- Figure 1 is a s e'ctional end elevation of my improved device. Fig. 2 IS a cross-section elevation, partlybrokenaway; and Figs. 4

and 5 'are detail views of the ratchet-wheel on the feed-out roller.

' My invention relates to the-class of adver tising devices, and is designed to rovide a device of this character in which t e. advertisements are printed on a continuous web of portions by a cross-strip 3,- giving an upper and lower panel, so that two differentadver- .tise'ments appear at the same time. top cover f the case is preferably-hinged at 5 to allow insertion of the roll of paper 6,

which may have a shaft 7 dropping into open 1 bearings 8, fastened to the interior of the sides hand-knob 15, b' which the roller may be of the case. The paper passesfrom the roll over a side roller 9, supported in open bearings in the upper front corner of the case, and

thence down around theiront portion of roller 10, thence around the rear portion of the larger roller 11 and between itand the lower roller 12 to the-outlet-slot 13. (Shown in Fig. 3.) The roller 11 is rov'ided with end tru'nnions 14, secured to. t e sides of the case, one of the trunnions having an external turned." The rol e'rs 10 and 12 are carried inspring-bearings 16, secured to the sides of the case, so as to exert a yielding pressure upon the pa er. 1 H

At t e end of the roller 11 is a disk 17,

I have shown this glass-front as divided into two The- (shown. in Figs t and 5,) having a recessed edge and a notch '18. A thumb-lever 19 is I pivoted within the case at one side and has a tooth 20 arranged to engage the notch of the disk 17. The' lever is normally drawn upwardly by a spring-21 and is provided with groove in .the disk 17. The disk 17 also has a pin 23' extending'across the groove at one point inthe circumference.

side of the In'the use'oi the' device the paper roll is in serted and the paper drawn over the roll 9, between the rolls 10 and 11, thence around the roll 11, and between it and the roll 12 to the outlet-slot; The advertisements are printed on the front 'face of the paper and arrangedso that one advertisement appears through each'glass panel. When it is desired to draw out a length of paper, the lever.

19 is ressed down until its pawl catches under the pin 23. The knob 15 is then turned a spring-pressed pawl 22, which lies in the until the edge of the paper is drawn through I the slot, when the operator may pull out the,

length. As he pulls out the paper the roller i 11 is revolved until its notch comes around into engagement with the tooth of'the 'lever,

which lever has been released. by'the turning of the roller whichcarries the pin away from its pawl. When the disk-notcl1 again engages the tooth of the hand-lever, the pa er is stopped, and the parts are-so arrangedt at at this point two advertisements are again.

in position in front of the panel s. The length of paper drawn out may correspond either to the length of one panel'or two panels.

The advantages of my invention result from the advertising obtained upon a roll of ",pap'er from which successive lengths are used. The device is simple and cheap and not liable to get outof order;

I claim .1. An advertising device, comprising a case having a transparent panel, a roll of paper havin advertisements thereon and supported in sai case at one side of the panel,- the case having a discharge-opening at the opposite cessive portions of the paperyeach of a determinate length and eachbearing a definite .p'ositional relation to the said anel maybe drawn as from" the roll by a *ee edge'pro- I00 anel, and means whereby suctniding through the discharge-opening; substantially as described.

.2. An advertising device comprising a case having a transparent panel, a roll of paper having advertisements thereon,- and supported in said case at one side of the panel, the case having. a discharge-opening for the free edge of the pa er at the opposite'side of the panel, a feed-r0 ler adjacent to the discharge-oped ing, and

awl and ratchet means in connection Withthe feed-roller for definitely limiting the length of paper which can be drawn over the feed-roller; and alsofor causing each such-length to bear adefini'te positional relation to the said panel substantially as described.

3. In an advertising'device, a casing having a display opening, and a discharge opening, a paper-supply roll, carrying paper having advertisements thereon and arranged to be drawn out through the discharge-opening,

and means whereby each drawing operatlon is limited to a definite length of paper bearing a definite positional relation to the display-opening; substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I. have hereunto set
